Comments: Av. paradigm B (ʁadí-l, ʁudú-l; but Chad. A: ʁédu-l, ʁéda-l). Cf. also Akhv. Tseg. ʁande, Ratl., Kar. Tok. ʁandi.

Protoform: *ʁarV

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: 1 harrow 2 wooden ladder

Avar: ʁári 2

Andian language: ʁari 2

Comments: The Av. word is formally a deverbative from ʁár-ize 'to harrow'. In Andian the semantic shift was probably conditioned by the external similarity of the wooden harrow and the wooden ladder.

Protoform: *ʁaza ( ~ o)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Godoberi: ʁaza

Comments: Attested only in God., but having probable external parallels.

Akhvakh: ʁaža

Chamalal: ʁaz

Tindi: ʁažu

Bagvalal: ʁažʷ (Tlond.)

Godoberi: ʁaži

Comments: Av. paradigm C (ʁažá-lzul, ʁúž-dul, Chad. ʁeží-l/ʁožó-l/ʁežá-ldul, ʁéža-l/ʁúž-dul). The vowel -e- in Av. is somewhat hard to explain (this root has never contained a medial nasal which usually causes the shift a > e in Av.; see also the discussion under PEC *gwǝćV).

Protoform: *ʁilV

Meaning: wheel

Chamalal: ʁil

Comments: Attested only in Cham., but having probable external parallels.

Protoform: *ʁimc̣V

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: tongs, pincers

Avar: ʁec̣

Chadakolob: ʁeč̣

Andian language: χuc̣u

Akhvakh: q̇:enč̣o (Tseg.)

Chamalal: χic̣ʷ

Karata: ʁec̣e

Bagvalal: ʁec̣ʷ (Tlond.)

Godoberi: ʁuc̣u

Comments: Av. paradigm C (ʁoc̣ó-l, ʁúc̣-dul; Chad. ʁoč̣ó-l/ʁič̣í-l, ʁéč̣a-l). Cf. also And. (Leksika) ʁuc̣u, Akhv. Ratl. q̇:ibč̣o, Tseg. q̇:ebč̣u (coexisting with q̇:enč̣o), Cham. Gig. χizu, Kar. Anch., Archo. ʁerc̣e.

A complicated case: the most probable reconstruction is *ʁimc̣V (-m- is suggested by -b-/-n- in Akhv. and by the -u- vowel in And. and God.). There are, however, some unexplicable irregularities: χ- in Andi (at least in the MSU recording) and Cham., q̇:- in Akhvakh.

Northern Akhv. ʁec̣i is obviously a loan from Avar; Av.-And. origin is also probable for Arch. χac̣i 'tongs' (quite irregular as compared to other Lezghian forms, see below).
